>I found myself in the middle of this argument with a fellow employee and I realized that I felt that I was right but I could not prove my point. I appreciate all your input but I don't want to waste your time. I'm just showing my ignorance, trying to get a better handle on this.
Dan,
This kind of discussion is based on the foundation of programming in VFP (or any other OOP language). I don't know how many man-hours were spent by UT members reading the 50+ messages in the thread but I'd bet NO-ONE thought they were wasted. If we didn't learn something new we were able to solidify our thinking and justify to ourselves the way we handle code.
